A tabloid style newpaper that focuses on the Canadian food system and how it can be improved.

Abstract: 
Page one of this tabloid invites all Canadians to participate in a Cross Canada inquiry into the food system which began in October. This particular inquiry differs from the many government inquiries and commissions in the past, inasmuch as it will examine areas of common interest that can serve to unite, rather than divide, farmers, fishermen, workers, consumers and third-world people (CISS 429) .
The people's food Commission (PFC) aims at allowing those directly involved in the growing, processing, transporting, selling and eating of food to share their experiences. As the 65 or more hearings among the local working groups across the country progress, areas of common concern will be identified and work will begin on resolving these issues by means of specific follow-up actions.
This tabloid describes what will be happening at the hearings and how the reader can participate. The names and addresses of contacts in each major region of Canada are listed .There is also a sketch of the commissioners who will be conducting the hearings. The piece concludes with a list of supporting organisations and resource materials.
